"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

i agree.. there are so many other aquatic colognes out there that are much better than acqua di gio.Michele said:
acqua di gio and cool water are the safest colognes i can think of.. and that's not a good thing.
also.. acqua di gio and other fragrances like it are suited more for casual/everyday use.. for a date, use something that has a more sensual aroma.
vanilla is good year round, but is especially good during winter (for spring/summer, a cologne with strong floral notes makes sense.. but NOT during winter when the smell of flowers is an anomaly).
as for me..
i use givenchy pi, chanel allure homme sport, and 2 others that i won't mention for the same reason that Solomon gave (i'm a selfish sob). the cologne i use depends on the season and my mood at the time.
i've used many different colognes over the years.. the one most important piece of advice i can give to anyone: stay away from jean paul gaultier, unless you don't mind smelling like a girl. it's the typical metrosexual wannabe fragrance.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Issey Miyake - L'eau d'Issey Pour Homme
-My favorite scent. Its just...fantastic..its a lemony scent that is just beautiful. It has really good ongevity, ok sillage, and the girls love it.
Escada - Magnetism
-Very nice as well, probably second favorite...this deep, bold cologne that is a touch feminine and starts of like grape soda. Sounds weird, but its great.
Givenchy - Pi
-At first too strong and offensive, but it cools down nicely. Girls really like it
Victoria's Secret - Very Sexy 2 for Men
-I usually do one spray of this and one of Issey combined, but this is a nice vanilla kind of scent, although a little chemically
Claiborne - Candies
-Playful, happy scent. Its refreshing to smell.
Bvlgari - Bvlgari Extreme
-Not sure how to describe it..i'm all out for now, but its really good. Damn.
lol, its my fav store, I buy a ton of stuff there, but I love Fierce, its very masculine, yet not too strong, and works perfect in every season. The best thing about it, is that I love the smell.Bluesteak said:
It would be dumb to wear something you don't like. Keep that in mind, or it will drive yourself crazy

Hard to find but if you go to a perfume store, they might have it. Only use a little of it, spray on wet hands and apply on skin. Females find it irresistible. Don't go buying all of it now. Also check out body sprays, Bod came out with a new one called Body heat, don't use the fruity ones that evryone has.
